Freddy's Glove

I always assumed that this is supposed to be a scene from the distant past when Freddy was still alive.
The screenplay even intended this scene to end with an outside-shot, further implying that the glove-building scene was from when Freddy was alive and isn't a scene in the nightmare world:
I'd always thought it was supposed to be part of the dream but now that you mention it, his hands aren't burned in that scene. So I think you're right.
Green Goblin is great! -

It's a dream world. He can create anything he wants.
If we're going by that logic, they all should've been chased by a skeleton because there's no way Freddy would be in that state, plus have clothes intact. -

When Freddy loses the hat in the dream, it appears in the real world. Thus, if its in the real world, he can no longer obtain it.
Who says he can't? Maybe he just chose not to use it anymore. That's why he can use a glove even though there is one in the real world.
But even if we go by the logic that Freddy cannot duplicate stuff: Well, the glove was taken from him before he was resurrected as a dream entity. Therefore, everything he had when he was resurrected was created from scratch. (Otherwise, he wouldn't even be able to wear clothes or have a body at all since all this still exists in the real world, even if it's in dust form.) But Nancy took Freddy's dream hat, therefore, he doesn't have it later anymore. -

I only say that he can no longer obtain it because throughout the duration of the movie following him losing the hat, he never has it back on, so I assumed that with the hat in the real world, he couldn't obtain it. Which now makes me question how did he retrieve it for Part 2: Freddy's Revenge, but that's a different discussion.

I understand your reasoning. That's why I tried to explain it:
You asked why Freddy can have a glove, even though Marge has the glove in the real world and we have seen that Freddy cannot retrieve his hat when Nancy takes it from him. Therefore, he shouldn't have a glove at all since it's in Marge's possession.
That's my explanation:
Every
piece of Freddy existed in the real world. Apart from the glove, you could also ask: How can Freddy have shoes in the dream when his real shoes should be in the real world? (Maybe burnt down, but still existing in ash form.)
Or: How can Freddy have bones in his body when the real bones are buried in that car?
So, this means that when Freddy was resurrected, each part of his living self was duplicated in the dream world: His hat, his sweater, his pants, his shoes, his glove and his body were recreated and copied in the dream world.
That's the reason why Freddy can have a glove in the dream world and the glove still existing in the real world: During Freddy's resurrection, everything was duplicated, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to exist at all since
every
part of him has a counterpart in the real world, not just the glove.
Now, if Nancy takes his hat away, she takes the dream copy of the hat. That's why he doesn't have it anymore. Because the copy process was a one-time thing when he was resurrected. -

That's a pretty good explanation. Its a shame the other movies didn't go by that logic. In the sixth film and Freddy vs Jason, we see Freddy wearing a leather jacket over the sweater with the hat and glove out of sight. The pilot episode of Freddy's Nightmares got it right.

You can see him wearing the jacket at from :39 to 1:06 from Freddy vs. Jason.

You'll see the photo on the website. Its Freddy, wearing the jacket, surrounded by the Dream Demons and fire. -

Oh. I thought you were talking about Freddy after he became a demon. I'm pretty sure he wears it in Part 3 when he takes out the girl with the knives. He doesn't wear it very often in the series. It's been a while since I saw part 5 which I didn't think was very good.
Green Goblin is great!
